ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the complexity of the verification process, which some customers found frustrating and time-consuming, particularly older users or those with unique identification issues. Additionally, delays and technical difficulties, including issues with document acceptance and login credentials, have led to dissatisfaction among several users. Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

Difficult to navigate
November 5, 2023

Couldn't reset my password and/or user ID. Had to use new ID to re-establish connection capabilities. No other government liaison websites available? Have to use this one for all 3-4 veteran connection points. (DOD, DEERS, Myhealthyvet, etc) Could find no phone number to get help with sign in.? MUST CHANGE sign in every 6 months. Can't the government make it more difficult for us older veterans to navigate their systems. Wasn't enough that they micro-managed the last few wars so we couldn't ever achieve victory?

Setup was easier than I expected
October 29, 2023

I was expecting the setup process to be very complicated, taking a couple of hours to jump through hoops but that was not the case.

Easy to use, great discounts
October 29, 2023

I joined ID.Me to save money on purchases at different stores who offer discounts to veterans, emergency responders and educators. Once you add your personal data on their secure site, you're approved and can use their website to find deals. The discounts are usually stacked on sale items, too. For example, a pair of boots I wanted on Merrell's were on sale and then I got an additional 20% discount.

It feels good to be appreciated for choosing a profession that is rewarding emotionally but not always financially. ID.Me helps with the latter.

Avoid using this software if you can
November 5, 2023

ID.me requires you to upload a legal ID (passport, driver's license, whatever) and then it does a crude line-tracing of your face and tries to match it with the ID. Needless to say, if you don't look like your ID photo (think of your worst driver's license photo! Ten years afterward!) this process is slow and laborious.

I found this prone to error in matching the phone picture and the ID picture.
